Experimental data have shown that gingeroids (gingerols and shogaols), the major phenolic compounds of ginger, are antagonists of serotoninergic receptors and could stimulate gastric motility and decrease nausea symptoms.² ³ Proper gut motility, measured by gastric emptying time, is an important component of overall health.
In particular, ginger appears to be beneficial in addressing nausea symptoms and especially those often experienced during pregnancy. A recent umbrella review and a Cochrane review both concluded that ginger consumption may reduce nausea symptoms in pregnant women.⁶ ⁷ As always, healthcare practitioners should be consulted before consuming supplements during pregnancy.
A review of several studies also suggests that ginger may be helpful in alleviating nausea due to motion sickness.⁸
At Givaudan, we collaborate with our suppliers to source all ingredients in accordance with the principles of our Sourcing4Good programme, which promotes responsible practices across our supply chains, while improving both producer livelihoods and the environmental footprints of our products.
Cultivated in India and Africa from November through February, our ginger is grown according to responsible agriculture practices.

Generally considered healthier and more nutritious than the other main cereals, oats offer a full range of benefits in a single ingredient. OatWell™ can be provided in three different concentrations of beta-glucans, all delivering both soluble and insoluble fibres, along with an average of 21% - 23% protein.
OatWell™ uses a unique production process to fractionate the oat kernel into three product lines: beta-glucan products, oat flours, and oat oils. Our production process preserves the native structure of oat beta-glucans, retaining their high molecular weight during fractionation into oat brans with a high amount of beta-glucans.
The molecular weight of oat beta-glucan is essential to delivering health benefits. OatWell™'s beta-glucan has a very high molecular weight (2000-2500 kDa as naturally found in oats), which contributes to its unique viscosity and thickening properties. This viscosity has an important impact on physiological functions, such as reducing blood cholesterol levels, moderating blood glucose and insulin levels, and potentially benefiting satiety.
Benefits of OatWell’s high molecular weight:
The prebiotic effects of oat bran fibre have been validated through years of research. In a review by Malkki and Virtanen, they cite: “in the large bowel, soluble dietary fibre increases the fermentation activity, especially production of butyric acid, enhances growth and colonisation of some probiotic bacterial strains, increases production of microbial mass and thereby aids the removal of nitrogen via faeces. It also increases wet weight of stools, thereby alleviating constipation”.²¹
Research conducted on oat beta-glucan demonstrates that it meets three important criteria, confirming its status as a prebiotic fibre:¹ ²
